The Hammerheads brought Hawaii its first ever football championship in an upset against the Texas Terminators in the 1999 IPFL Championship game played at Austin, Texas 28-13. After the season, the team folded due to the team not making any money the first year and not being able to secure financial backing for the 2000 season.
